The t/Space Crew Transfer
Vehicle (CXV) is an innovative spacecraft capable of carrying four crew to
the International Space Station or other low Earth orbit destinations for
less than $20 million per flight. Based on the Discoverer and Corona
capsules, the CXV utilizes a proven re-entry design to maximize safety and
survivability of the crew. The CXV is launched into space on a two-stage booster released from a carrier aircraft, which enhances safety, performance, and flexibility. Preliminary design of the CXV and launch system is under way as part of t/Space's "Concept Exploration and Refinement" contract with NASA. An uncrewed demonstration flight is planned for summer 2008, with a crewed flight in Summer 2009 -- eliminating the gap between the retirement of the Space Shuttle in 2010 and the initial flight of the new Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV). |
This model is being produced with the cooperation and permission of Transformation Space (t/Space) and will include both the two-stage booster as well as the manned capsule. |
